Waste-Away is a unique combination of bacteria that attack and dissolve organic wastes in the aquarium quickly. Even with good maintenance and monthly water changes, sludge and wastes remain in the aquarium in hard to reach and hard to see places. Waste-Away, a 100% natural, beneficial bacteria-based product, works quickly to find, break down and remove these wastes.

Waste-Away works to remove aquarium gunk, unclog gravel beds, and keep filter pads freely flowing longer. This results in better water flow, more oxygen and a healthier aquarium environment.

Dissolves sludge and dirt

Unclogs and cleans gravel beds

Removes gunky wastes

Keeps filter pads cleaner and longer

Removes hidden wastes

Contains no phosphates

100% natural

Waste-Away should be used on a regular (weekly) basis to keep sludge from accumulating which can negatively affect fish and corals.

Use it to help get rid of cyanobacteria, aquarium slime and to keep tanks clean!

CAUTION: When using in a tank with a large amount of sludge, consider a half-dose initially as the sludge reducing bacteria in Waste-Away may cause the oxygen level in the water to temporarily drop.

This Product works great. I have a 180 gallon mixed reef with a high bio-load. This product when used as directed brought my phosphate and nitrate to acceptable levels.

Waste Away Sludge Bacteria

This is an amazing product. I met DR Tim at an expo and he told me about his natural products. The Waste Away product has been great in my battle with high nitrates, I do frequent water changes and add the waste away and the nitrates get to a manageable level. The product is natural so I don't have to worry that it will crash my reef system.
Thanks, Dr. Tim

5 stars to waste away

Ok..so..I had/have a major greenhair algae problem , following mr.saltwatertank's prescription to solve this problem ,one of the steps is using waste away. ..I am on week 3 of using waste away and I can see a big difference in algae growth, or lack of growth. . Waste away is just one tool to solving this problem ..but I can definitely see its contributions. ...
I did not expect to use so much waste away I had to order a bigger jug ..if your using the 2 day method to battle a outbreak or just using once a week for maintenance don't waste your money on the small size , go right for the big one .because after you see your tank in 2 to 3 weeks of using it , your going to keep using it ! ! !

Q:Hello Dr. Tim,
I have been using waste away for about a week now, dosing very slowly, skimmer off for 12 hours...the hazy brown film on the glass is beginning to retreat, the back wall it seems to like a lot...(red sea reefer 450- the back wall has a black tint on it and the hazy brown algae? seem to be highly attracted to it...) I have your biopellets on standby- I havre not reached full dose yet...should I wait till I achieve full dose before setting up the biopellets?
